Fletcher is a given name of English, Scottish, and Irish origin. The name is an occupational name for an arrowsmith or seller of arrows, derived from the Middle English, Old French ''flech(i)er'' (in turn from Old French ''fleche'' "arrow").〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fletcher Name Meaning and History )〕The name may also have its origin in the Gaelic name "Mac-an-Leister", meaning "son of the arrow-maker." Early bearers of the name include Robert ''le Flecher'' in 1203 (in the "Assize Court Rolls of Staffordshire", during the reign of King John), William ''Flecher’'' also in 1203, and Peter ''le flechier'' in 1227. The name is often confused with ''Flesher'', as some Fleshers are Fletchers and ''vice versa''. ==People with the surname== * Adam Fletcher (disambiguation), various people * Alan Fletcher (graphic designer) (1931–2006), British graphic designer * Alan Fletcher (actor), Australian actor * Allen Fletcher (born 1955), member of the Texas House of Representatives from Harris County, Texas since 2009 * Andrew Fletcher (politician) (1653–1716), politician and Scottish Patriot * Andrew Fletcher (musician) (born 1961), member of the English electronic music group Depeche Mode * Art Fletcher (1885–1950), American baseball player * Arthur Fletcher (1924–2005), American government official * Arthur Fletcher (rugby league), English rugby league player * Banister Fletcher (Senior) (1833–1899), English architect and historian, also Member of Parliament, father of * Sir Banister Fletcher (1866–1953), English architect and historian * Barry Fletcher (born 1935), English cricketer * Betty Fletcher (1923-2012), U.S. federal judge * Bryan Fletcher (disambiguation), various people * Carl Fletcher (Canadian soccer), footballer born 1971 * Carl Fletcher (Welsh footballer), footballer born 1980 * Chris Fletcher (born 1948), American football player (San Diego Chargers) * Christopher Fletcher (born 1957), English cricker player (Sussex) * Christopher D.
